Will footballing legend Ferguson be joining the staff at Swansea to help turn their season around?

Swansea City could be about to add the most successful boss in Premier League history to their ranks, according to Ladbrokes.

New Swans boss Bob Bradley has credited his managerial style to sessions under the legendary Scot at Old Trafford, and it is just 5/2 that Fergie takes on an advisory role at the South Wales club.

Fans can expect to see the 13-time Premier League-winning boss watching on at the Liberty Stadium this season at 4/9, but it is the 33/1 for him to become the club’s Director of Football that could have Swans supporters dreaming.

Those Ladbrokes odds will intrigue both Swans fans and neutrals as the prospect of the man many rank as the greatest manager of all time returning to the game appears to be a realistic one.

At the moment it is of course just speculation, but with such short odds for the Scot to play some role, it perhaps would not be too much of a surprise.

Bob Bradley has taken charge of the Swans following the departure of Francesco Guidolin, whose nine-month stint at the Liberty came to an end after a six-game winless run in the Premier League.

As a result of the dire form this season, Swansea currently sit in 17th in the Premier League table having only taken four points from seven games.

Bradley is now the first American to manage a Premier League club and his first game in charge will be against third-placed Arsenal after the international break.
